Guide: Compiling an altcoin daemon in Ubuntu Linux …

This guide will assist you in compiling a headless client (the daemon) in Ubuntu Linux. This is a necessary step if you wish to set up a node of your altcoin. It is assumed that you are starting on a fresh Ubuntu (14.04 x64) installation. If you require a VPS for hosting, I highly recommended Digital Ocean.

The $5/month plan is all you need. Use sudo in front of all commands if youre not logged in as root. Replace YOURCOIN with the name of your coin (case sensitive).
